City of Toledo (Schooner), U4548, aground, 30 Aug 1892

Manistee, Sept. 1. -- The schooner CITY OF TOLEDO, belonging to the Manistee Lumber Company, cleared from this port yesterday with a cargo of lumber. She was caught in the northwesterly gale and driven on the beach at Pierport, 18 miles north of here. She turned completely over in a few minutes and all hands on board were lost. She was commanded by Capt. John McMillan of this city. His two eldest daughters were on board with him. The crew consisted of six men. There was a heavy sea running when the boat went out, so much that the crew had to take to the rigging. Three hours afterwards she was sighted with her flag at half mast, making for the beach. The vessel now lies bottom up about 50 rods north of Pierport.
